KEN [KC2JDY], READ - AM/MW DXing = Your Radio + Lazy Susan + Select-A-Tenna http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Shortw...a/message/1787 As a stand-a-lone Radio for AM Broadcast Program Listening the GE Superadios are the low cost performance favorate by many casual AM/MW DXers. + Use a Select-A-Tenna and a Lazy Susan with the GE Superadios and you can do some reasonable AM/MW DXing for about $100-$150. + Plug a Long Wire (Random Wire)Antenna into the 1/8" Jack on the Select-A-Tenna Model 541-M and you can generally 'improve' the listenable range of your AM/MW DXing both day and night. Greetings! I picked up a GE Super Radio II at the local thrift store for $2. I was shocked to find that it worked. I definetly looks used, but is missing nothing. I hear lots of stations all around most freqs and can usually pull them out. I have not tried an external antenna yet, but I think I will put up a loop. Would 14 ga. wire be better, or 300 ohm? Thanks for your input! Jon. |

I already knew all of that.If I was rich,I would buy meself a
Watkins-Johnson radio or Ten-Tec or Drake R8B radio.I do own some shortwave radios.One of them is a big Telefunken floor model shortwave radio with AM/FM and it has a phonograph built in the top of it.I also own another German shortwave radio.It is a large table model shortwave radio with AM/FM and to tell y'all the truth,I don't remember if it is a Grundig or a Blaupunk radio.Why? Because I bought it and some other radios I own at one of the local Goodwill thrift stores here and that radio I have it stored in one of my junk rooms here and I have so much junk (it isn't all junk) stored around that radio and I haven't seen that radio in years and I have forgotten what the brand name of that radio is.I also own an old Hallicrafters S-38 EB shortwave table model radio and I own a Panasonic table model shortwave radio I bought new at a local store back in the 1980's and I own some other off the wall brand name shortwave radios too.I have been a collector of old things all my life.I own a 1914 Ford T model car I bought from a guy in Sioux Falls,South Dakota in November of 1971,he and his wife were moving to Minneapolis and they couldn't take the car with them.I paid $1,800.00 for my car.I also own a 1942 Willys World War Two Jeep and I own a 1948 Willys Civilian Jeep.Both Jeeps need a ground up restoration.OK,so I own some old junk but it isn't all junk,I own many other old things too. cuhulin |

RHF wrote: CULULIN, The what have you to say about the "COUNTRY" of Manufacture of the new GE Superadio IIIs ? And REMEMBER the "GE Radio" Band Name is now owned by a 'French' Company THOMSON {GE} Consumer Electronics. Also "RCA" Radios are now a THOMSON {RCA} Consumer Electronics Brand Name. RCA = http://www.rca.com/ Check again, on a recent TV news segment about China, they said that the Chinese electronics manfacturer TCL (?) bought Thomson Consumer Electronics a few months ago.
